Magpies are birds of the Corvidae (crow) family, including the black and white Eurasian magpie, which is one of the few animal species known to be able to recognize itself in a mirror test.[1] In addition to other members of the genus Pica, corvids considered as magpies are in the genera Cissa, Cyanopica and Urocissa. I am sharing this globe with these birds!

Rosmah just like to sing there is nothing wrong with that!

Yes she CAN sing, including Mandarin songs!

Below is what I 'd term as a sad journalistic commentary about how everything - read non-issue- is desperately being turned into an "issue" hoping its readers, I am referring to Malaysiakini, taking real material and making feeble attempts to discredit the ruling party under Prime Minister Dato' Sri Najib Tun Razak.

Malaysiakini, make no mistake for come the general elections I believe the Malaysian-Chinese community votes will see Barisan Nasional (BN) be given a two-thirds or more majority for average Malaysian -Chinese, Malays or Indians and others - are just fed-up of constantly having their common sense insulted by the ilk of Anwar Ibrahim and his band of desperate followers.

The fact that Rosmah and their son Mohd Ashman were singing Mandarin songs had nothing to do with fishing for Chinese votes, and this is a good example of how an opposition website, probably funded by Brother Anwar Bin Ibrahim, insults the Malaysian-Chinese community implying that the fact that the prime minister's wife and son were singing Mandarin songs can turn the Chinese votes to the BN?

Malaysiakini! It only shows Rosmah can sing Chinese songs and any other songs, that is all, and plus the fact that the wife of out prime minister can actually sing! No more no less, morons!

Below is what Malaysiakini's column VOX POPULI can come out with in the website by insulting the intelligence of average Malaysians as a whole:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'The PM has turned to his family to help woo the Chinese back. Desperate times calls for desperate measures but getting his family to do a 'Sound of Music' number is pathetic.'Rosmah and son serenade Chinese business doDoc:Times are really bad for Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak. He needs the Chinese votes more then ever in view of the dissipating Indian and Malay voters if he and BN are to scrape through the next general elections. MCA's never-ending squabbles and Umno's ultra-Malay stance have alienated the Chinese from BN.Getting no support from MCA and even his Umno party, he has turned to his family to help woo the Chinese back. Desperate times calls for desperate measures but getting his family to do a 'Sound of Music' number is pathetic.Teh: Someone should tell Norashman that this song has already been taken up by PAS. The 'Moon Represents My Heart' is actually the PAS moon symbol and not Umno's 'keris'. Najib and Rosmah Mansor should try singing some other song. Be more creative and innovative. Don't just copy other people's ideas.By the way the Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCIM) and MCA do not represent the Chinese community comprising the hawkers, the factory workers and other ordinary citizens whose votes will matter most to Umno. So pandering to them is barking at the wrong tree (or moon in this case).Foo Wy Len: Ma'am and Junior, a nice try and I thank you for trying but what about Umno's 'Ketuanan Melayu' and the ranting by Perkasa and its ilk?

You may sing the same song 1,000 times or 1,000 other Mandarin songs but one thing for certain - MCA and ACCIM may represent themselves but definitely not the ordinary/simple Chinese like me who just want to be treated as a Malaysian and have a better tomorrow for my children. There must be more Chinese like me than all the Chinese in MCA/ACCIM/Gerakan/Supp combined. Gk: Najib is still living in a denial mode when he says 'The Chinese community needs your (I presume MCA and Gerakan's) leadership'. The fact is that the Chinese community has already abandoned the whole of the BN and not just MCA and Gerakan. All right-thinking Malaysians irrespective of our colour and beliefs are favouring fair play, natural justice for all, meritocracy, institutions of integrity with the high morals and diversity that we find in Pakatan Rakyat. As long as you choose to stick to your idea of Malay supremacy and supporting the racist Perkasa, your propaganda of a '1Malaysia' alone will not be able to win you back support from right-thinking Malaysians. Sedarlah kamu dari keangkuhan. Yang kami idamkan dari Umno and BN ialah apa yang dapat kami cari pada Pakatan Rakyat. Kalau anda dapat membuat demikian, alangkah lebih bagus bagi rakyat? Rakyat ada lebih pilihan, bukan setakat Pakatan Rakyat saja. Insaflah kamu.

Leave her alone. We always sang all kind of languages those days. Why are we so inclined to pick on such a sincere and noble gesture? I love to sing at functions and I perfectly understand where she is coming from

Ypou are wrong, it is that group of opposition-led website operators like Malaysiakini who are anti-Malay and anti-Umno not all Chinese are Magpie I do believe when general election Chinese voters will go for stability.My father was a Special Branch officer during th emergency and his memoir spread many goodwill between Malay and Chinese and the government has been taking care of us, three of us graduated from overseas, I am a police officer...no we are not Chinese first but Malaysian! We wil never forget what our late Daddy said, may he rest in peace!

WoofingMagpie!I am surprise not to see Rosmah or Najib supporters commenting in your blog: people like Pahit Manis aka Ahmad Talib, Rockybru, Jejak Pujangga aka Ashraf Abdullah, The Voice and Big Dog, Nuraina Samad etc!If they are not supporting Rosmah and Najib what chance do they have?

Why do people have to be so mean? This is a case of seeing shadows when there are none. So what if she sings in Mandarin (or Hindi, or Tamil for that matter)? I am a karaoke kaki who sing Mandarin & Cantonese songs all the time and I know exactly where she is coming from. Leave her alone la! Give the woman a break .. tak habis2 mengumpat bigtime..

I still remember when Brother Anwar Bin Ibrahim (BABI) mimic Mandarin in the most patronising manner, and we all know how he scolded S. Samy Vellu for wanting more Hindu temples and yet the Chinese and the Indians --many be not all-- are now all supporting him, I firmly believe those who support really want to see UMNO destroyed and a new3 regime to be created under a different coalition? Comprising people like Tian Chua, Gobalakrishnan, Gwo Burne, Tony Pua, Lim Kit Siang, Azmin Ali, and Khalid Jaafar a senator, and also many many more people who have no interest in this country but to disrupt what they perceived in this country as being controlled by Malays? I don't think so!

You guys have no idea how good life here in Malaysia, we left dreary Ireland to work for a company here and we are thinking of not going back.Your racial undertone in your political process is how Ireland started where Protestant Irish killing Protestant Catholic or vice versa! I believe the government in Malaysia is stable compared to many in the world, so we suggest you guys should use your head instead of your arses to think! Sorry but lately here it is beginning for us to remind us of our past in Belfast!

Malaysiakini, make no mistake for come the general elections I believe the Malaysian-Chinese community votes will see Barisan Nasional (BN) be given a two-thirds or more majority for average Malaysian -Chinese, Malays or Indians and others - are just fed-up of constantly having their common sense insulted by the ilk of Anwar Ibrahim and his band of desperate followers.

People are fed up. But it may be Barisan who gets the brunt of the anger. Or is it the emperor wears no clothes mentality?

average chinese right now is willing to go all the way to oppose umno. if u cannot figure that out, then call an election in any of the froggie seats and find out.

But then , the alternative emperor wears no clothes is always more palatable. creates the illusion that the pm and his advisors know what they are doing when 1Malaysia knows that this administration is characterized by policy flip flop, incessant bickering amongst BN machinery, 1 and 2 contradicting each other, economic policy that is high income on paper, crime that is spiralling out of control and you add lah.

but pls continue to paint a rosy picure. proves this team is clueless.

No amount of singing from Rosmah and son will bring back the Chinese votes. It has nothing to do with the quality of the singing or lack of it. And the more Najib use these pathetic methods in the hope of winning votes, the more disappointe dhe will be. I'd advise him to just concentrate on the forthcoming gerry-mandering where hopefully he can use the expected two-thirds majority to pass through the legislation. Save Rosmah's and Najib's singing at the bathroom. Give the professional singers a chance to "cari makan"
